ABSTRACT
Although the presence of pancreatic tissue outside of the usual anatomical location of the pancreas is not an uncommon incidental finding, the risk of malignancy is extremely low. We report a case of ductal adenocarcinoma arising within a focus of heterotopic pancreas, occurring in the jejunum of an 81 year old woman. The patient presented with a history of progressive gastrointestinal occlusive symptoms. Computerized tomography showed a mass in the jejunum, which was surgically removed. Histopathology revealed an invasive pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma from pancreatic tissue with no connection with the original gland (Heinrich type II). At the 12-month follow-up, there were no signs of recurrence. Despite the low risk of malignancy in heterotopic pancreas, adenocarcinoma is the most frequent histological type, and the prognosis is still not clear. Lesions incidentally detected during surgery and in symptomatic patients need to be removed by conservative procedures in order to exclude malignant disease
RESUMEN
Aunque la presencia de tejido pancreático fuera del páncreas es un hallazgo incidental no infrecuente, el riesgo de malignidad es extremadamente bajo. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 81 años de edad con historia progresiva de síntomas oclusivos gastrointestinales, que presentó en el estudio por tomografía computarizada una lesión oclusiva localizada en yeyuno. El estudio histológico reveló la presencia de un adenocarcinoma ductal invasivo de tipo pancreático sobre tejido pancreático sin conexión con la glándula original (Heinrich tipo II). En el seguimiento posterior de la paciente a 12 meses, no se observaron signos de recurrencia. A pesar de que el riesgo de malignización del páncreas heterotópico es raro, el tipo histológico más frecuente es el adenocarcinoma. El pronóstico es aún incierto. Es necesaria la resección quirúrgica de estas lesiones en el momento del diagnóstico con el fin de descartar la presencia de enfermedad maligna
